4 hours ago, I thought there was a 0% chance money would be paid out. But 3 hours ago, a discussion made me think there was a chance they would do a payout for today, and then retract the whole thing tomorrow. That made me 20% certain that money would be paid out. So between those hours, there was a linear increase in the chance of money being paid out. And as other trends are possible, but not probable, then the prior should be that the trend continues, right? So I expect this to arrive at 100% chance several hours before payout time.
This part makes me think they’ll actually pay out;
There is currently a cap of 600 Good Heart Tokens per user while we are rolling out the system.
The minimum number of tokens to be exchanged is 25.
Especially the part where it’s 600 and not 500. That sounds like the kind of number that came out of people actually deciding how much they wanted to pay out.

4 hours ago, your expected value of a point was $0. In an hour, it increased to $0.2, implying a ~20% chance it pays $1 (plus some other possibilities). By midnight, extrapolated expected value will be $4.19, implying a ~100% chance to pay $1, plus ~45% chance that they’ll make good on the suggestion of paying $10 instead, plus some other possibilities...

Though I’m curious whether the community agrees:

It’s the kind of number caused by government regulation.
Not taking extrapolation far enough!
